Loads of Lesser Knapweed in flower on the laneway this week. Attracting loads of pollinators too. #wildflowerhour

Missed last Sunday’s #wildflowerhour as was returning from beautiful Scotland. One of my highlights seeing my very first Grass of Parnassus in real life in the hills over looking Loch Ness! A beauty. Himself in the Loch agreed!!
